Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Roll out the refrigerated sugar cookie dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Using a round cookie cutter (about 3 inches in diameter), cut out circles from the dough. Re-roll scraps as needed to make about 12 circles.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with water to create an egg wash.
Place 1 teaspoon of jam or fruit preserves in the center of each circle.
Fold the edges of each circle to form a triangular shape, pinching the corners tightly to seal. The jam should still be visible in the center. Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash.
Carefully transfer the assembled hamantaschen to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Hamantaschen Lazy!
